To Europe by Pneumatic Tube

Col. John III. Pierce, of Ilatsville,
Conn, who claims that he can ami
hilate space by shooting passengers to
called at the Tribune office yesterday
and expressed desire to be interro-
gated about his scheme. A reporter
was deputed to perform the operation
with result something like what fol-
lows
Colonel, how could you get the
tube laid?"
THAT is, of course, Il very import
ant thing, and when we get beyond
the experimental tube we shall have
a better idea of how it is to be done.
That is, in fact, the only thing in the
whole project that stdggers scientific
men. In laying our hollow cable, or
tube, We must provide against the
breakage of it. purpose having the
outside made OF wire, with the inter
stices filled with gum; then inside of
the wire iron and lining Of steel.
We would need new appliances and
machinery specially adapted for weav-
the wire | think the tube, or hollow
cable, should be made as it is laid
that, of course, will be an elaborate
and tedious process. We must lay it
from vessel larger than the Great
Eastern. | am afraid the Great East
ern would scarcely do"
"What would be the shape of the
conveyance
Il would be like the projectile of Il
dynamite gun, and have wheels all
around so as to reduce the friction to
the smallest degree. The seats would
be arranged so that the passengers
would sit tandem-or they might lie
down.
"You say speed of 1000 miles an
hour could be attained"
eyes. That is as fast as the rate at
which the earth turns on its axis"
"Then would not that result in your
projectile coming to a dead stop if it
moved in a direction contrary to the
earth's revolution" ?"
"Well-I-ah-yes, certainly it
looks like that; but that'll be all
right"
"Would this way of travelling be
safe ?"
Precautions will be taken to insure
its safety. There might be some dam
ger of the conveyance or projectile 60
ing off at tangent when it reached
the end of the tube; but it will
be shot right up grooved incline
and slow up and stop. But before
anyone goes through I'll make trial
trips with dogs and such, and if they
come out I'll venture the passage my
self. No one will make it till l have
done So"
"Well, l hope l may live to 60 to
Europe that way"
I'll give you free pass. Good
bye"
And the sanguine inventor depart
ed, while the reporters mind reverted
to Gulliver and Laputa, and the Col
lege of Sages, and cucumbers and
sunbeams, and he could not but
think that the retrospect had some
thing to do with the case.

CONDENSED CORRESPONDING
Reported by Representatives at
Homo md Abroad.


Argument of the motion to quash
the indictment i'm the Benson land
cases was commenced in the United
States circuit court, at San Francisco,
yesterday. Counsel for the defense
objected to the indictments on the
ground that they did not charge the
particular kind of conspiracy mem
toned in the statute, and there was
no avermcnt to show that false papers
were presented to the government
fraudulently. Other technical grounds
were urged. The cases were continued
until Thursday.
The will and codicil of Levi Rosen-
field, FLED yesterday at Chicago, cut off
his son Maurice without dollar that
can be touched by the creditors of the
bankrupt commission firm. The will
is dated December, 1888, and gives
Maurice and Henry, two sons, hand
some amounts in personal property
and fair share OF realty, but Il codicil
dated June, 1887, directs that all be-
quests to Maurice be revoked and all
such to be read as being made to his
wife an to be free from all control of
his creditors.
Owing to the report that San
Francisco packing company intended
to bring Chinese to Ferndale to oper-
ate the salmon cannery, Il meeting of
citizens was held on Sunday night to
protest against such action. A vote
was taken, and resulted in favor Of
excluding the Chinese. Peblic senti-
ment is somewhat divided, as several
thousand dollars are paid out annually
by this company for fish supplies.

A Chicago Times special from Win
nipeg says: A telegram from Premier
Norquay congratulates the contractor
and government upon paying no heed
to the injunction, and expects his col
leagues to go right ahead and defy the
Canadian Pacific railway and the
Dominion government in the construc-
tion of the road. He says that he
will return at once, as the object of
his absence from Manitoba has now
been served.

The steady rise of late in the price ol silver, says the Daily Graphic, is attract. ing the attention of the financial world. Not that it was unexpected, for thought full ob,ervers of monetary affairs have looked for its coming for some time past, but because an appreciation of the value of silver means an increase of the value of one of the most important of our domestic products, and consequently is a matter of great interest to our own peo. pie, and tecause indirectly it enhances the value of the metallic basis of large element in our curren y, and thus gives to it and the mercantile transactions m which il is an elemt nt, greater stability. The Chine-e government is making extensive preparations for the coinage of silver, according 10 a d. cision reached some time ago to adop, i, as a standard. This should creaie heavy demand, and consequently d marked advance in the price of the white me al.

The grea, land boom in Sou hern Cal iforn ia, says an Eastern exchance, get ting cry shaky, according to latest ac- counts from Los Angeles, and many of the more careful spectators are said to be preparing for storm. It is stated that paymentsto the amount of S4s,ooo,- ooo on land purchases are to fall due be- fore the end of the year, and no sensible person need be told that the strain will be very severe one. If notes to the amount of millions do not go to protest before Christmas, the boomers may we'll claim to have more solid founda- ton for their fancy prices than has been generally supposed. Within a few months the real estate craze in all re- gions affected will be cooled down, and the merits of older and solder towns will again be more thought, of than the mar vicious promises of the "boom" cities.
